For many New Zealanders a mortgage is their biggest financial commitment. It's important to manage it well. This calculator is here to help.
Notes on this calculator
Results are in today's dollars – this means that any amount you pay or
receive in the future will have the same buying power as this many dollars
today.
For example, if you could buy something worth $1000 now, in 10 years time, you would need $1220 ("nominal dollars") to buy that same thing
(assuming 2% inflation). The $1220 nominal dollars in ten years time is equivalent to $1000 today's dollars.This means that the actual
dollar amounts that you pay or receive are likely to be more than the figure quoted here, but it will have the same current buying power.
The total level of repayments are assumed to remain constant so that when one mortgage is paid off the repayments for that mortgage are transferred to another mortgage.
Repayments are not assumed to increase each year.
These calculators are designed to give you ballpark figures only - in other words, they won't be exact to the absolute dollars and cents.
You don't need to use dollar signs or commas when inserting dollar amounts.
Example: 10500 not $10,500. [back]
